We take a look at the
- Top 10 Video Sharing Sites
to help you determine the right place to post your videos.
- Uploaders profit share in the rental of the educational videos. This encourages not only quality video but also self marketing
- Upload, add materials, share, group into courses, etc
- With upload, design, and interface changes on the way, this is the most viable educational video alternative as the ad supported video structure begins to fail
- Eyespot offers an easy-to-use video uploading and remixing.
- You have the ability to trim the beginning and end, reorder clips on a timeline, add music and photos.
- You can post to a group or invite a friend to the service.
- Uploading is super easy but has a 25MB filesize limit which could often be too small. We feel there is not a lot of reason to use Eyespot, in its current incarnation.
- Pro: It’s Google
- Con: It’s Google
- Typically clean and sparse Google layout. Uploading requires you download the Google Video Uploader. .Allows you to add plenty of metadata, including a transcript.
- No editing and Google Video requires a “video verification” process, where your submission is reviewed to ensure it conforms to Google’s technical standards and legal policies.
- YouTube with a file-sharing application built on top.
- For full functionality, requires an application download. Windows Media Player-based (converts other formats). Ratings, tagging, groups, RSS feeds.
- You can post direct to myspace, friendster, eBay. Download to hard drive, iPod.
- This file-sharing application seems is undifferentiated from existing options. “Groovies” will prove much more popular if they can be built online without having to download the app.
- Create, edit, and remix video online.
- Cool interface and the best editing options of the bunch. Splice your footage, reorder the shots, add music, photos, transitions, even effects–think iMovie in an online interface.
- Email to a friend, embed in a web page (worked flawlessly in Wordpress).
- This could be the future of online video based on its interface and editing capabilities.
- ”The Global Home for Grassroots Media.”
- This thing was slow, confusing, and messy.
- No editing capabilties. RSS feeds, email to a friend, direct link to files from your own site.
- One of the most difficult sites to upload video to. Current “alpha” version falls far short of potential.
- Upload video of any format to the web and post it to other sites or share it with friends.
- Requires you download an application in order to upload. The download seamlessly embeds in your browser to give you drag-and-drop functionality.
- Basic trimming of beginning and end points. Post direct to eBay, Blogger, and Typepad. Creates a simple URL, lets you email the video, and gives you javascript and html code for embedding in your own pages.
- If you only need to post and share video with friends, Videoegg works
- Flickr for video.
- No download required, simple and easy uploads. Tagging, commenting, voting.
- None in the current version. Post to Flickr, send to del.icio.us, download original file, embed in your MySpace profile or blog, create an RSS feed.
- Good video quality. Embedding the video in Wordpress worked flawlessly. But: Light on community features, and weekly storage cap of 20 megs is too limiting.
vSocial
- ”The fastest, easiest way to upload, watch and share your favorite video clips.”
- The site looks sweet, period.
- Offers “edit this video” functionality
- Embed in your own page, MySpace, Typepad, Blogger, del.icio.us, Flickr, Blog It! Lots of community features. But: Didn’t live up to their “fastest” or “easiest” claim.
- The video-sharing site everyone’s already heard of.
- Hard to cut through the clutter
- Ratings, favorites, flagging, tagging, commenting, create playlists, subscribe to other’s uploads, and subscribe to tags.
- No editing but you can embed in other websites, including Friendster, eBay, Blogger, MySpace.
